Kali is a modified Debian wheezy. It only has a root account. I finally
figured out a fix to my problem. I needed to edit a MySQL configuration
file in /etc/akonadi
However now my problem is with trying to upgrade to a kde version that
has kdepim 4.8+ so I can use DAV Groupware Resource for Google calendar.
I am messing with the Ubuntu raring repository to get 4.10 but I am
having issues with after KDM login it gives me a black screen with a
fully functional mouse, so for the past 12-14 hours I have been on TTY
console trying to get it to work...
